Falling Slowly

Falling Slowly from Once

Something about this song is just so incredibly beautiful. The instruments used in this song are just the right amount of everything. From the chords to the lyrics, I fall more and more in love with this song every time I listen to it.

"I don't know you but I want you all the more for that."
How can you not fall in love with this song? It's so simple. It shows how simple and beautiful love can be. We would all be lying if we said that we don't want a beautiful love story where you fall in love with that person in such a simple way.

This song gives me chills. Falling Slowly is a love song but it also has a tone to it where it is a song about heartbreak and that is what makes it gorgeous.

Isn't it hauntingly beautiful?

Meet Me!

Well hi there!

I'm Jessica and I'm 19-almost-20. I am from the Chicago suburbs but I feel like Saint Louis University is more of my home now. I am a Middle School Math Education major/Music minor. I was always that weird kid who loved school and that is why I want to become a teacher. I want to share my love of learning with future generations, it's as simple as that.

As for my love of music, I have been singing since I could talk and songwriting has always been my outlet to release emotion. I cannot imagine my life without music. I also am very passionate about theatre. There is something about being on stage that makes me feel amazing and it's not the spotlight. It's the fact that I can leave my problems backstage and go on stage and take on a character's issues and just forget about real life for a little bit.

I am hopeful, driven, quirky, sassy, outrageous at times and someone that you can talk to if you need to vent. I give advice but rarely take it.

This is me, take it or leave it.
